So last year Pete Rock was furious with Lupe Fiasco on how he took the T.R.O.Y. sample to make “Around My Way [Freedom Ain't Free]” by Lupe. Which song did you like better? Listen and vote.

Lupe did more than take the sample. He literally remade the beat and released it. That is some bitch ass shit.

I changed my opinion. I just listened to that interview. Not cool that Lupe came at him like that. It Pete’s song He should have been thankful for being able to use it.

Pete is classic for sure but I like what lupe did it still has a good feel to it. Would you vote Pete just because he is a classic?
